Ice Diva arrives at the door of the HQ of The Everynighters. Just as she was ready to ring the buzzer, Peepopo opens the door and almost runs into her. "Hey Ice Diva what's wrong?" Peep says sounding very serious. She cries "Why didnt you guys tell me he was missing?" as she rushes into the the hallway leading to conference room meeting Neut on her way. "Whats wrong Ice?" asks Neut " We have a serious situation here."
Ice Diva goes into the conference room and sees Statesman "Oh my" gasps Ice Diva. She looks around and see the familar faces of Pharma Hawk, Teek, Tar Heel, Super Swamp, along with Peep and Neut who follow her in.
"I was with Princess Grace and StarOmega in Firebase Zulu when I got this message, I only heard the first part of it. Here." She plugs in the device into a console and starts the recording.
Everybody hears radio static, pops fizzle and it sounds very distant.
"Oh my god I hope somebody gets this, I hope the everynighters will hear this. I have been trying to contact the everynighters for so long. Please, whoever gets this let them know. I think I have been gone almost 6 months" Eighball sighs. "I think, oh god I dont know! I was visiting my family's grave markers in Boomtown to say hi and to wonder why my powers were acting strange, but the markers were broken in pieces. I thought who would do this, when I heard a female voice behind me say " Well, Well. You came to us. How nice. thank you Eighttball, TAKE HIM!" That was the last thing I remember. Now, I dont know where I am, they have been running test and torturing me ARRGGHH !!! PAIN the Pain. They never asked any question, Why, oh my god why!! I can't see who they are I have a very bright light in my face all of the time. I did hear them say to send me back, but I am still here. I think they sent a double in my place, I hope he has not hurt anybody. Boy if he hurts Neut nothing will stop me. Neut I love you, Oh no!! I hear them coming. "buzzzzzzzzzzzz crackle" Ok ok I gotta stop now, also I heard a name of Hulk"bbbbbbbbbbbbuuuuuuuzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz"ch out for him! POPSNap radio static"
Ice Diva stops the recording and looks around they are all confused and little scared. "So this is not a joke 8 is playing on us?" she laugh nervously. "Where is Eighttball?" her voice gets louder.
In the distance she hears "I am right here Ice whats wrong" she hears him coming to the conference room "Greetings all, whats wrong Ice?" he asks again. He looks around at the team, his features change and become hard and his smile turns into a sneer "Ahhh , you now know. No matter." The room is completely silent. Ice Diva whispers "I dont think that is Eighttball" and before anybody reacts he slams both of his hands together at an incredible speed repeatedly. Slaps them with ear shattering explosions. Everyone is forced to the floor or up aginst walls. The doppleganger then turns and runs at superspeed out of the base. He is yelling into a comuncation device "My cover is blown!, HAHAHA Hulkster come and get me".
Ice diva recovers "Oh no what is going on and where is the real 8?" PH recovers and sees him run out the door and mutters "I think we have our rat".
